Change the display size - Honor 9 Questions & Answers

Hi!
I really want to change the display size in my Huawei Honor 9. But the only option I have to do this, is to change the dpi through the Developer setting.
I have already been able to activate text style through command prompt on my PC with the phone connected to it. I don't have my phone rooted. Is there a command for the Display size setting to be activated, too?

You mean one hand mode ?
You mean 5x6 or 4x6 desktop icons scheme ?
You mean bigger icons ?

No. I mean to change the size of the display: smaller, small, normal, large, larger. I think it's called View Mode in Huawei Mate 10.

You mean font size ? size of your text ?

No? Please read what I am writing! Text Size already exists in my Honor 9, but not View Mode / Display Size.

I don't use the built in SMS app but Textra has a font size option, tap the settings gear at the top & then just before the MMS settings there is a font size option that gives you smaller, normal & larger settings.

After a lot of research and almost getting a PhD in this topic, I have found out this solution.
1. Go to Developer options and change the minimum width from 360dp (default value) to 320dp (mine is not going beyond that). It will increase the font size of the notification and status bar a little bit.
2. You can then go in Display settings and change the general font size (the general font size would increase too because of the 1st step) as per your linking. I hope this helps.
3. Tech geeks, please let me know if there is any disadvantage of doing this, if any. It will help me to add it in my PhD thesis.

Install the Good Lock App from the Galaxy Store and a module called "Clockface" to get a more extensive selection of clock faces and fonts for AOD and Lock Screen.

Tried that but it doesn't let me enlarge the text. Only change colors. At least on the ones I like. Am I missing something.

There are different clock faces with different fonts and font sizes. I'm afraid you can't change the size of the font of a specific clock face. They "might" release other clock faces with a font size you want or you can create a custom clock with the "existing" font templates. You can also try to contact the developer and suggest that they add the font size functionality you want.

Fonts problem with Xiaomi ☹️

I have Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro.
I have noticed that, after I changed font size, font sizes under icons are not even anymore.. Longer titles are written in smaller font size, shorter titles are in bigger size.

Question Status bar font size adjustment?

Hello. I have serious vision challenges and hope someone can help.
Is there a way to adjust the status bar font size on the Samsung S22 plus? The settings for font size and screen zoom do nothing to the status bar or toggles icons text. (I know of and use the magnification feature. However, I simply want to be able to glance at the phone vs. magnifying every time.)
I am ditching my Pixel 6 Pro due to it's awful antenna/modem = sh*t connectivity. The one good thing about the P6P (other than the camera) is that the display size adjustment also scales the font and icon size on the status bar.
Any guidance or suggestions are welcomed. Preferably without rooting the device, I hope status bar size adjustment is possible.
Q: Do fonts downloaded and applied from the Theme Store also change the status bar fonts? Maybe I could find a larger font to install and use it instead? (BTW, Themes store filtering and search are total crap so if you know of one point me to it).
Thank you in advance.
You could try to change the dpi setting, but this will change the size of all. Afterwards you might re-adjust font size and screen zoom like you already did for the rest of the screen.
Go to "Developer options" (if already activated) in "Settings". Search for "Smallest width" note down the dp value and change it to your needs. If you change it to a higher value (e.g. from 411 to 490), everything on the screen will get smaller.
Not sure if you've worked it out yet, if not hopefully this should work for you ..
In Developer Options scroll down to 'Simulate display with cutout' and choose waterfall cutout. Reboot and go back to Simulate display with cutout and choose default Good luck..!
I can confirm that under Android 12 the waterfall cutout/dpi trick just about doubled the font size on my S22.
Since the Android 13 update this week, that hardly makes any difference in the size of the status bar font.
The text and icons in the status bar are literally the most omnipresent information bits on the phone, and they are not resizable? That is a key failure in recognizing customer needs - particularly accessibility needs.
Indeed. After the Android 13 update, the status bar is tiny with no tricks to change its size. The waterfall cutout trick no longer works. There has GOT to be a way to actually make the icons and text in the status bar actually fill that area and not be microscopically small.

Having the waterfall cutout setting just made the screen really narrow for me after the update. There no longer seems to be any good way to increase the font size in the status bar. I have tried some third party applications like Super Status Bar which do increase the font size, but they have limitations such as you can't have a transparent background, and you can't hide the status bar from the always-on display.
Do all S22 phones have the samll font in the status bar?
There are lots of complaints about this all over the internet. Surely it would be a simple matter for Samsung to provide adjustment of the Status Bar font size utilizing a Goodlock module. I live in hope because although it's not a deal breaker for me the small size in annoying.
